Asus released a new BIOS for many of their M2N series board which are
basically discontinued. I'm still using a M2N-SLi and that fastest
processor for that board was the first generation Phenoms. Now this
board can accept a Phenom IIx4 945.

I can assume this only came about because many people have
experimented with processors not originally supported by this board.

Interesting; my desktop mobo is the M3A. Don't know if there's a
point to updating the BIOS unless I were to change the CPU, though.
Asus support attitude seems to tend towards "if it ain't broke..."

Nope. This only applies to certain AM2+ boards with nVidia chipsets.
Phenom IIs were designed for the AM3 boards. Certain models of the Asus
M2N series can now use these processors.
